foreign policy legislators now it's going to the full senate for a crucial final vote. caught up with a former senator gary hart to discuss both countries concerns over the start treaty . it's time for the senate to vote on a new start that's the title of the letter signed by some top former u.s. officials as well as some form of senators including gary hart thank you so much for joining a pleasure a few days ago i heard ambassador richard byrd say and that if it had to be enough republican president submitting this treaty the strategic arms reduction treaty for ratification it would have already been ratified i mean no doubt it's been a bumpy ride for the for the trade in the senate but in your opinion how much of it was about the actual treaty and how much about republicans trying to make a point to the democrats well over the course of my active life involved in

arms control issues the pattern has been the republican presidents get much quicker ratification easier read a petition of arms control treaties for example president reagan then democratic presidents and one would have hoped after the end of the cold war fifteen or more years ago that partisan approach to arms control would not still prevail but i'm afraid it still does and the questions about the treaty or all coming or virtually all coming from the republican party so i think those of us who signed the letter in the opinion piece or are hoping former secretary of state george shultz and some are a go are hoping that we can encourage bipartisan support for this treaty and hopefully some republican senators will support it mr hart american officials have

more than once told the senate that the treaty in no way limits the ability of the united states to deploy missile defenses. you know when it once and where it was the senate foreign relations. meeting quote at that point in their resolution but the russians seem to understand this type between offensive and defensive weapons in the treaty as legally binding are we lost in translation or is it just me well i hope not treaties can never be. ironclad in the sense of. absolutely eliminating ambiguity languages language and people from with starting with different language base have different meaning for words but the order of diplomacy in the school would be diplomacy is to overcome those language differences and to have a common understanding of exactly what crucial terms mean and i think of the time

with the ratification is completed here in the united states hopefully successfully there will be a clear understanding on our part and on the part of the russian government as to what those terms mean and that's the best we can hope for and it's hard let me explain this a couple of days ago i went i went up to go to motive there the key u.s. negotiator i start after the press conference and i asked her about this whole debate to on. the connection between offensive and defensive weapons in the train she said yes but the treaty acknowledges that time as a fact and not as an obligation so it is supposed to make sense in legal speak but i honestly don't understand because russians do seem to see it as says legally binding something legally binding which americans don't see it such what do you make of it the skill of both teams is such that they would have. had a negotiating record that clarified this issue so you think they do have an understanding

is that it is just outsiders they have to or or they have to agree to disagree that is to say you interpret this we will interpret it that way but that's very. tricky. way to approach these things because it just leads to ambiguities later i have to believe not having participated that there is a common understanding on this apart from that any real concerns about the treaty among senators as touch upon well clearly the republicans. have. concerns some of them genuine i think others less genuine. there is still i think for many of us not the kind of. understanding. by americans of russia and russians government and where it's headed that we would like. but

and i think from the russian side there is still confusion as to why. we have not developed stronger ties in the last fifteen or twenty years i'm not clear clear on that myself i think we should have but. as time goes on hopefully the questions are being raised again primarily on the republican side will be satisfied at the end of the day there will be a boat on the treaty people will have to vote for or against it and those who are against it are going to have to justify why they voted against it and why it makes us more secure not to have a treaty then if we had the treaty and it's a very hard burden to carry may start even with this treaty in place we're obviously very far from the global zero they call a nuclear free world you know with new forces trying to get hold of nuclear weapons and you are going to be around for quite some time as deter and know should we just stop talking about nuclear free world and just tag it as the wishful thinking you

know what i think of human beings need goals and more than just rhetorical gold schools that are that are achievable. why the doneness it's a rush or a key to this because we have. ninety percent of the nuclear weapons on the earth and we cannot go to the russians and the americans cannot go to china or to india or pakistan or any other nuclear power france great britain and say reduce your nuclear arsenals until we've done our job so it all begins with the bilateral negotiations between the united states and russia. if we are serious about dramatic reductions in these nuclear arsenals then we widen the club and bring in all the nuclear powers and. ideally at least north korea and even iran for that matter and say enough we're all we're going to get rid of all

these it does seem like and kind of ideal dream but it is a goal to reach for in your opinion who is america afraid have right now well i can't speak for three hundred million. americans. there is still deep concern in this country about terrorism. one thing that a lot of americans don't realize is we're not the only target of terrorism russia is the target of terrorism many countries have terrorist problems pakistan and many others it's a global problem post cold war global problem where almost any country one way or another can be vulnerable and can be attacked so the international community has to combine to try to solve this problem i think president bush's war on terrorism it's not the right approach but it's you know

america is not the only one in this that's being victimized by this so hopefully we can have greater cooperation not only between us and our european allies but us and russia and others. who suffered the same threat may so hard russia has so many times in the past offered the united states. and create this joint defense system missile defense system and there are people who are very skeptic about it saying that russian the us their interests are so different what would you tell them in a way there's a very sound logic to that if in fact these technologies or purely defensive and have no purpose other than protection. why not i mean what what is what's the origin against. every or at least countries that we

can trust having this capability and if it is a confidence building measure as it should be it seems to me if i were the thing to discuss it's very complicated technologically. to transfer these technologies from one laboratory to another but may be sophisticated russian scientists might be able to help us with some of this just to be fair on missile defense cooperation u.s. officials the expressed willingness to work on and do you see some real signs of such cooperation coming sometime in the near future maybe well i would hope so i've been i've spent a lot of time in russia unfortunately i haven't yet learned the language but i've spent in the cold war years and post cold war years off a lot of time in russia met a lot of the russian people in leadership and it always seemed to me after the end of the cold war in the ninety's that the two scientific communities should have

gotten together and i'm not quite clear why that didn't happen for example the president we have yet to win to silicon valley. within the last year very. well reported trip. seeking cooperation seeking investment in the russian technology sector scientific sector i have always thought from the early ninety's on after the end of the cold war that there ought to be very very close cooperation. not only between government laboratories but in the private sector also american investment in russian technology russia has some brilliant so it is mathematicians physicists and it would seem to me it ought to be a natural partnership and hopefully it's still coming up and it's not happening i don't know i hope i haven't been able to go to russia nearly as much in the last

few years so i don't know mr hart when the first starting of course remember that was sign it was a. breakthrough that would change the world. start to change the world and how will not in the dramatic. historic sense it's a step. and it's a large step it will get rid of dangerous unnecessary nuclear weapons on both sides so it will change the world incrementally in a rather large and important step but it will not be the hinge of history that people will look back on and say that was the. that was the event that that fundamentally changed the world there are going to be more coming there has to be step by step by step thank you very much very thank you.
